4.1 Patient Restraints
Use a complete set of three patient restraints to secure the patient on
the cot. Adjust restraints to safely secure the patient without causing
discomfort or impairing circulation.
Keep restraints fastened when not in use to prevent them from
interfering with cot operation.
Different patient restraints must be used in different situations. Use only
restraints designed for the current environment in which the cot will be
used.
●
Use only the cam-buckle restraints (provided) when the cot is in an
MR environment. Metal-buckle or other styles of restraint may not
be MR-compatible.
●
Use only a primary restraint (such as a metal-buckle restraint) when
transporting a patient in an ambulance. The cam-buckle restraints
are not suitable for restraining a patient in an ambulance.
WARNING
Improper restraints can cause injury. Use proper restraints
for the environment where the cot is being used.
●
Use only cam-buckle restraints in an MR environment.
●
Use only metal-buckle restraints only in an ambulance.
